SUMMARY:Christmas bells at Perpignan Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Bells\nThe carillon of the Saint John the Baptist cathedral will ring out every evening from December 17th to 24th at 17h30-18h00 for the “Nadalet” or “Antiennes en ‘O’”.   \nThese mini concerts will feature favourite Christmas tunes\, both sacred and secular\, from around the world. \nThe concerts will be given by Elizabeth Vitu and Laurent Pie\, as well as Elizabeth’s three carillon students from the Montserrat Caballé Conservatory of Perpignan. \nThe 46 bells of the cathedral of Perpignan and the  Peace Bell ring out Christmas advent music every year\, as ‘carillonneurs’ (bell ringers)\, Elizabeth Vitu and Laurent Pie\, work their magic at the cathédrale Saint Jean Baptiste. \nLaurent Pie and Elizabeth Vitu work their magic\nOn  the 24th\, the bells will announce Midnight Mass\, ringing from 11.30pm to midnight and again on the 25th from 10.30am to 11am to announce the Christmas Day Mass. \nThe bells\, commissioned in 1872 by Jean-Francois Metge and exhibited at the 1878 World’s Fair in Paris\, were installed in the cathedral in 1880. They are France’s only fully intact carillon\, an instrument of bells played with a wooden keyboard. \nThe 46  bronze bells toll from the cathédrale St. Jean-Baptiste and have endured two world wars and more than 100 years of disuse to become one of France’s unique treasures: a fully intact carillon. \nRecommended listening place: in front of the cathedral\nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
